SCSI Status Code

A SCSI Status Code is used to determine the success or failure of a SCSI command. At the end of any command, the target returns a Status Code byte which should be one of the following:

## Contents

* 1 00h Good
* 2 02h Check Condition
* 3 04h Condition Met
* 4 08h Busy
* 5 10h Intermediate (obsolete)
* 6 14h Intermediate - Condition Met (obsolete)
* 7 18h Reservation Conflict
* 8 22h Command Terminated (obsolete)
* 9 28h Task Set Full
* 10 30h ACA Active
* 11 40h Task Aborted
* 12 External links

## 00h Good

This status code indicates that the device has completed the task successfully.

## 02h Check Condition

When the target returns a Check Condition in response to a command it is indicating that it has entered a contingent allegiance condition. This means that an error occurred when it attempted to execute a SCSI command. The initiator usually then issues a SCSI Request Sense command in order to obtain a Key Code Qualifier (KCQ) from the target.

## 04h Condition Met

This status code is returned on successful completion of a Pre-fetch Command.

## 08h Busy

The target returns Busy if it cannot complete a command at that time, for example if it is in the contingent allegiance condition.

## 10h Intermediate (obsolete)

The target returns Intermediate when it successfully completes a linked command (except the last command). This status code is obsolete starting with SAM-4.

## 14h Intermediate - Condition Met (obsolete)

As the name suggests, this status code is simply a combination of 10h Intermediate and 04h Condition Met. This status code is obsolete starting with SAM-4.

## 18h Reservation Conflict

The target returns this status code if an initiator attempts to access a LUN that has been previously reserved by another initiator using the Reserve or Reserve Unit command.

## 22h Command Terminated (obsolete)

The target returns this status if the target has to terminate the current I/O process because it received a Terminate I/O Process message. This status code is obsolete starting with SAM-2.

## 28h Task Set Full

Similar to 08h Busy status, this status code is returned when the logical unit lacks the resources to accept a received task from an I_T nexus. This status code implies that the logical unit already has at least one task from that I_T nexus, where the 08h Busy status code implies that the logical unit currently has no tasks from that I_T nexus.

## 30h ACA Active

The target returns this status code if an auto-contingent allegiance condition has occurred.

## 40h Task Aborted

The target returns this status code when a task is aborted by another I_T nexus and the TAS bit in the Control mode page is set to one.
